Ingredients:

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 ablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cups baby bok choy, halved lengthwise

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the pan, then sauté garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds.

Toss in bok choy and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the greens are tender-crisp.

Return the beef to the pan, pour in the sauce mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 more minutes until heated through.

Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice.
